Huge movie week

Eastwood #16: Unforgiven One of the best ever

start your weekend by pre-ordering an exciting comic AND supporting independent art Macabre Valley #1 is a grindhouse Texas horror comic written by me, illustrated by Anna Readman, colored by Brad Simpson, lettered by Becca Carey journalism + Texas + werewolves: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

My fellow critics, Steve is my favourite editor to work with. You should all pitch him. It's easy.

When all is said and done, there will be a 4.5hr long trilogy of these movies and its because idiots like me keep paying to see them

Now watching!

UK friends! I’m going to Thought Bubble this year (first time) with copies of Macabre Valley, can deliver them to backers, should there be interest in that you can learn about the book and get your copy here, if you’re so inclined. UK shipping is same as US: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

One Battle After Another? More like one banger scene after another

Now watching!

Might bite the bullet and see One Battle After Another tonight even though it'll overlap with Thursday Night Football 🥲

on top of just wanting to do a gory Texas horror comic...our new book was inspired in part by my time as a young night cops reporter in McAllen, Texas I wrote a bit about those days and why telling this story now matters so much to me...plus I found an old on-the-job photo and some clips (1/2)

Halloween Game looks neat but honestly "Shape Jump" feels a little stupid

Spider-Man 2 was so bad that I genuinely dont think there's any hope for this

There's just something fundamentally *wrong* about watching a bad 80's slasher in 4K Ultra HD With all the bullshit TV settings these days, I wish there was one that turned the movie into SD late night cable TV quality

Off from work today to recover from the concept, starting the day off right with a fun horror movie

Me and the boys seeing Bring Me the Horizon, Motionless in White, The Plot in You and Amira Elfeky!

Its interesting how everyone is always predicting the rapture but when they dont get led to heaven, the response is "oh I had the date wrong" and not "well, guess I wasn't invited to go" Who knows, maybe it did happen and we're all just stuck here!

I am currently not working on amy comics writing This must change immediately Just gotta find a book or topic...

Another for the backlog...

One Recommendation After Another

Just realized Unforgiven is next in my Eastwood filmography binge and I'm so pumped to revisit that film with the added context of the last 15 movies. Might have to make this a personal event

A new PTA in theaters this week but it just so happens to be an exceptionally busy week and the showtimes are not accommodating We will do what must be done for cinema, though 🫡

Insane that bands choose to schedule concerts on Tuesday nights That is a work night, you are definitely not maximizing your audience with that day!

Watching the second half highlights and Mahomes having as unconvincing a win as possible against the Giants. Next week against the Ravens is gonna be interesting...

we really need to finish this first week strong before the inevitable mid-week slump sets in spice up your sunday evening now by supporting independent art and getting yourself a copy of our grindhouse Texas horror comic, inspired by my time in local news www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

🚨NEW POST🚨 A football horror movie that goes into the insanity of the sport is something I've always wanted, but HIM is absolutely horrendous and wastes that potential. Here's my review, along with some thoughts on the NFL 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/him-13...

We started in a hole but climbed ourselves out!

Eastwood #15: The Rookie Clint doing a 90s buddy cop movie, what more could you want?

Eastwood #14: White Hunter, Black Heart A movie about movie making but in a distinctly Eastwood way. Reminded me of a twisted combination of Blow Out and Ed Wood

with this graphic i just made (again, i will remind you that this is my true passion) the next phase of the campaign will be unstoppable www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

Halloween II (1981) opens so fucking well. Just a bone chilling first 15 minutes that captures the essence of the first and evolves it Shame about the next 77 minutes

this exists it is called thinking

Age restrictions aren’t my preferred policy. But now is not the time to sit on our hands as companies get away with harming people’s mental health, amplifying right-wing politics, and even worse. It’s time to experiment with ways to rein in their power. disconnect.blog/social-media...

Unbelievably bad, holy shit. Football iconography vomited onto the screen with no depth or introspection. No tension, no real scares, wooden performances. Awful

remarkably bleak stuff

Now watching!

dang, just $231 away from funding this thing and having a nice relaxed weekend

we are only a few hundred dollars from our goal and would be thrilled if you'd consider sharing the campaign link or (if you're able) lending your support...tiers start at just $5 for a high-res PDF that will hit your inbox the morning of October 16 www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

mentally and emotionally preparing for new Paul Thomas Anderson, thought I'd share one of my favorite essays I've written - about what might be his masterwork (though there are at least 5 viable contenders for that title)

How… are you supposed to defend that?

The way the Bills bully the rest of the AFC East makes you think those other teams belong in a different, minor league. Allen's just playing backyard football while Tua is fighting for his life

currently stuck at 169 backers, which yeah NICE, but also nice is finding six more people this evening like wow this is a cool book better support and ultimately read it, so we can finish our day 3 at a nice round 175 www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...

If you use AI for any part of your creative output, I'm going to assume you did so out of laziness and that your lack of passion tells me I should avoid whatever it is you've made.

In hindsight, I knew HIM was cooked when the embargo didn't lift until the day of release

just 3 hours left to get one of these cheaper tiers, if you’ve been planning to back but haven’t yet — now is the time!
